Accenture Receives FedRAMP Certification for Its Federal Cloud ERP Offering

The U.S. Federal government has awarded Accenture Federal
Services FedRAMP certification for the Accenture Federal Cloud ERP
solution, determining that its enterprise resource planning
solution is compliant with federal security requirements.
FedRAMP, the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program,
is a governmentwide program that provides a standardized approach
for assessing, authorizing and continuously monitoring the security
of cloud products and services. The FedRAMP certification process
helps the government significantly reduce the time and staff
required to conduct agency security assessments — helping eliminate
redundancy and potentially reducing associated security-assessment
costs by 30-40 percent.
“We have a long, successful history of delivering effective ERP
solutions to the federal market, and with this additional FedRAMP
certification of our cloud security capabilities, we can provide
our federal clients with even more modern and flexible solutions to
help them achieve their missions,” said David Moskovitz, chief
executive for Accenture Federal Services.
FedRAMP is the result of collaboration with cybersecurity and
cloud experts from the General Services Administration, National
Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Homeland
Security, the Department of Defense, the National Security Agency,
the Office of Management and Budget, the Federal Chief Information
Officer Council and its working groups, and private industry.
Accenture has an extensive track record of successful, secure
ERP implementations including working with the $7.5 billion
National Science Foundation (NSF) to implement iTRAK, the
foundation’s new financial system. Accenture migrated the NSF onto
Accenture’s Federal Cloud ERP platform enabling iTRAK to facilitate
real-time integration of NSF’s business systems with its eight
grant management systems – which support about 11,000 new awards
totaling $6.9 billion. As a result of the iTRAK program, NSF has
improved data integrity, reliability, consistency and sharing;
improved functional integration, accountability and internal
controls; an improved ability to audit transactions; and improved
financial performance and management reporting capabilities.
Accenture continues to provide operations, maintenance and system
enhancements for iTRAK.
